Re: Canning Labels

I made up labels in Word, but printed them on ordinary paper, and used packing tape to tape to the front of the jar. This wasn't on things I had canned but jars used for food storage. The regular labels I've used either don't stay on or are horrible to get off afterwards. Hopefully I won't have a sticky problem with the packing tape but don't know yet. On my mixes I made a label that said what recipes it was used for and where to find it, or if it was a single use item, like for a scones mix, then I put what ingredients needed to be added and cooking directions. And the date it was made. Edey

Re: Canning Labels

I use round labels and put them on the jar lid. Then I dont have to worry about getting it off. You can find premade ones for canning jars but not cheap. Sometimes, the ball jars will have a dozen labels in the box of jars. Babs

Re: Canning Labels

In 2001 I found a roll of large round stickers (just slightly larger than a small mouth lid) at a garage sale for $1 and have been using them before that it was a wax pencil like carpenters use or a sharpie marker.
